Detox

Detox Facilities Sunnyvale, CA is a secure, medically supervised facility that assists patients who want to take their first step toward being sober. Detoxification, or detox, eliminates accumulated toxins from the body, but it does not take the place of comprehensive drug and/or alcohol treatment. Detox alone is not rehabilitation. The detox process may can be intimidating for people who have attempted to quit using drugs or alcohol “cold turkey”, especially for those who have been using for many years. But it doesn’t need to be. In fact, quitting cold turkey is actually be unhealthy in some cases, so Detox Treatment Sunnyvale uses safe and proven methods that treat each client as people with different detox requirements. For any questions, or to speak with a detox specialist, call Recovery Place Drug Rehab at 408 329-7385 immediately!

Kinds of Detox

The two methods of detox are medically supervised withdrawal, and social detoxification. Health care experts will choose between these methods depending on:

the kind of substance being used

period of abuse

age of the client

mental state of the client

physical well-being of the patient

what kind of atmosphere the experts believe shall be most useful to the patient

Medically supervised withdrawal is usually advised for individuals who have been addicted to:

alcohol

pain medications (prescription or pharmaceutical)

barbiturates or sedatives

opioids (heroin, OxyContin7, codeine)

There are detox medications that can decrease some of the unpleasant, uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms associated with these drugs, but they must be administered by a doctor. Anyone who is affected by severe alcoholism, or who is abusing alcohol alongside other substances, should undergo a medically supervised withdrawal. Withdrawing alcohol abruptly can make people hallucinate, seizure, or develop severe physical and psychological conditions, all of which could be avoided with medications used at medically supervised detox centers. Also, any person that has ever experienced hallucinations or seizures, has a severe illness, or has been diagnosed with certain mental illnesses will require medically supervised withdrawal to be able to safely wean themselves from drugs and/or alcohol.

Social detoxification is far better suited for people whose drug abuse will only cause mild to moderate withdrawal symptoms; These substances include:

marijuana

cocaine

methamphetamine

occasional opioid use

infrequent alcohol use

In this type of detox program, patients are supervised by medical staff and counselors that manage the patients’ well-being, and also try to help them during the cravings of withdrawal without using medications. Social detoxification requires that patients live with each other in a “social” setting, not confined to institution-like rooms as they detox. This model of detox prepares patients for a rehab program in which they will live with and work alongside other addicts in recovery.

Take the First Step

Detox isn’t a substitute for a treatment program, however it’s a vital first step towards recovering from addiction for lots of people. Unlike many other facilities, Alcoholic Treatment Recovery offers guidance during and after detox – otherwise it is too easy to relapse after becoming sober. If utilized in combination with treatment and other substance abuse treatment strategies, treatment detoxification is an efficient first step toward recovering from substance abuse. Recovery is achievable, and, in some cases, detox is an essential start to the rehabilitation process if followed by a treatment program, such as Drug Recovery Treatment.
